Rep. Peter Roskam and bama on health care a replay from 2004 …
Chicago Sun-Times
Roskam now a member of Congress representing a Chicago west suburban district opposes most elements in the Democratic-drafted health care bills that are coming out of the House. That May 2004 debate “was a foreshadowing I think of how the president tends to argue” Roskam said on Saturday. Blasting bama’s bill Roskam in 2004 said it would lead to “socialized medicine. President bama returned from his Martha’s Vineyard vacation on Sunday to renew his drive to kickstart health reform legislation seriously stalled in Congress; Democrats are divided — conservative Blue Dogs vs. the liberal Progressives –while most Republicans are presenting a united front of opposition. If the past is prologue the episode involving bama’s successful bid to pass what became the “Adequate Health Care Task Force” could be instructive. bama won on a party-line vote.

13 issue of PLoS Genetics researchers in the U School of Medicine’s Department of Dermatology confirm that the presence of HLA-Cw*0602 a gene variation or allele on chromosome 6 found to be associated with psoriasis by numerous investigators is the "major genetic determinant" of psoriasis but that other nearby genetic variations also play an independent role in contributing to the disease"The HLA-Cw*0602 gene variation stands alone as a high risk for psoriasis" said Gerald G. professor of dermatology Benning Presidential Endowed Chair holder and a co-author on the study. "A major question has been: are there other genetic variations in this region that associate with psoriasis?"The study reported in PLoS Genetics identifies two other genetic variations on chromosome 6 that also have significant association with psoriasis.

Change is a constant and does keep life interesting but with heat index change it is very important to realize extreme heat can be quite serious and sometimes deadly. Heat related deaths and illnesses are preventable yet each year people in our country die from excessive heat exposure. People at most risk are the elderly the very young people with mental illness and people with chronic diseases. Nevertheless even young hale and hearty individuals can experience heat related illness and even death if they participate in vigorous and demanding physical activity during hot weather and don’t take proper precautions.

Why the Health Care Debate Is So Explosive
Washington Post
” The death panels are just the latest in a long line of monsters that seems to speak to a generation’s anxieties – not just for health care but for the nation itself. Democrats always – always every single time – get taken by surprise. Their full page newspaper ads during the Truman years were to say the least defensive: “The President’s Plan is NT socialized medicine. ” But the fears are real and can be answered – not by dismissal or denials or disdain – but by hopes and dreams that go as deep as people’s anxieties. Finally as if all that were not enough the battle for health reform invariably becomes a battle for political control. Harry Truman’s famous come-from-behind 1948 election victory prominently featured national health insurance. The first square-off during the 1960 election campaign saw the candidates Vice President Richard Nixon and Sen.

Cilias dual role in cancer

Primary cilia are specialised appendages that extend from the surface of many cell types and have been implicated in cell signalling. They are crucial during foetal development for signalling pathways mediated by a protein known as Hedgehog. As Hedgehog has also been implicated in cancers Jeremy Reiter Arturo Alvarez-Buylla and their respective colleagues explored the possible contribution of primary cilia to tumour formation. Studying two types of cancer basal cell carcinoma and medulloblastoma the two groups independently found that cilia could favour or inhibit tumour formation in mice.

Their finding published in the August 3 2009 issue of the international journal Nature Medicine represents a major shift in the way scientists think breast cancer develops. BRCA1 gene mutations are found in 10 to 20 percent of women with hereditary breast cancer. Women with BRCA1 mutations often develop ‘basal-like’ breast cancer which is a particularly aggressive form of the disease. Walter and Eliza Hall Institute scientists have discovered that luminal progenitor cells ? the ‘daughters’ of breast stem cells ? are the likely source of basal-like breast tumors. In recent years scientists have thought that breast stem cells gave rise to BRCA1 tumors.

Common Allergy Drug Reduces besity And Diabetes In Mice
Science Daily (press release)
In the first study researchers used two common over-the-counter allergy medications to reduce both obesity and type 2 diabetes in mice. The medications called Zaditor and cromolyn stabilize a population of inflammatory immune cells called mast cells. In the second study researchers found that a kind of white blood cell called a regulatory T cell once thought to manage only other white blood cells also acts as a liaison between the metabolic and immune systems—in this case controlling inflammation in fat tissue. Fat tissue from obese and insulin-resistant mice and people is marked by a dramatic absence of this cell type in dramatic contrast to an already reported overabundance in fat tissue of inflammatory immune cells called macrophages.

Herpes testing may reveal higher risk of HIV
Private MD
While it had been thought that the two to three-fold increase in risk was due to the presence of sores and lesions on the skin which can increase the chance for HIV to get into the blood stream scientists discovered last year that even people whose lesions had been treated are still at higher risk. New research published in the journal Nature Medicine reveals that changes in the immune-cell environment at the location of these lesions persist and render the skin at these areas more permeable to HIV. "HSV-2 infection provides a wide surface area and long duration of time for allowing HIV access to more target cells providing a greater chance for the initial ‘spark’ of infection" the authors write. Herpes simplex 2 is one of the most common STDs found in the U. with an estimated 45 million people infected according to the CDC.

Usually when government is involved they’re ginormous (and expensive) ironies – not the cutesy kind Alanis Morrissette once sang about. For example … the United States of America is (or is supposed to be) a free country and yet President Barack bama earlier this week asked Americans to drop dimes on other Americans by forwarding “fishy” communications related to the health care debate to a White House email address. Crazy huh?It gets even crazier when you consider that the. f course bama’s “Big Brother Is Watching You” approach to monitoring the health care debate isn’t really about health care – it’s about bama using snoops to identify his political detractors. Seriously have you been “flagged” yet? It’s a badge of honor if you ask us …Look people if the bama administration was serious about “correcting inaccuracies” in the health care debate it would start by admitting that its plan would eliminate choice raise costs and reduce the quality of care.

Potential Mechanisms To Protect Against Genetic Alterations …
Science Daily (press release)
"We’ve begun to identify the pathways that are very specific for preventing those types of rearrangements that involve DNA with duplications" said Richard Kolodner PhD professor of medicine and cellular and molecular medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and the Moores UCSD Cancer Center and a member of the San Diego Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR). Reporting online in advance of publication in the August 20 2009 issue of the journal Nature Kolodner and his team focused on a particular type of genetic change called a Gross Chromosomal Rearrangement (GCR) a large-scale change in the structures of chromosomes which house genes. Such changes might entail a sequence of genes being deleted or genetic material exchanging positions on chromosomes. According to Kolodner while the human genome contains many regions where rearrangements genetic duplications and other aberrations are more likely to occur – increasing the likelihood for chromosomal mistakes and genetic mutations – the genome is surprisingly stable. To try to better understand why the researchers examined GCR formation in chromosome regions in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae).

Louis is the most solid proof so far for a longstanding hypothesis in neuroscience that separate neural pathways are devoted to itch pain and other sensations. Zhou-Feng Chen the principal investigator said mice were made numb to itch stimuli by ablating a group of cells containing itch receptor the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR). Among other things the gastrin-releasing peptide regulates various functions of the central nervous system The same mice responded normally to pain stimuli. In 2007 the same research team identified the GRPR as an “itch gene” responsible for relaying itch signals from the skin to the brain via a small population of nerve cells in the spinal cord.

It is expected to benefit women from families that are particularly prone to the disease as well those who get the ??basal?? form of the cancer which is particularly aggressive and the least responsive to current treatments. A team led by associate professors Jane Visvader and Geoff Lindeman from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute made the discovery which was published this morning in the international journal Nature Medicine. They investigated samples donated through the research network kConFab by women who have had breast surgery to fight or avoid cancer. The samples were mostly from the 10 per cent of women who have genetically inherited a much higher risk of breast cancer. Those with the ??BRCA1 mutation?? have a 65 per cent chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime. The researchers were searching for the original cells that malfunction to begin the spread of cancer.

Asthma drugs can treat obesity diabetes
PRESS TV
While previous studies had linked obesity and type-2 diabetes to the dysfunction of the immune system a new study showed that certain allergy drugs can also treat these two conditions. According to four studies published in Nature Medicine two common antihistamines known as Zaditor (ketotifen fumarate) and cromolyn can treat obesity and type 2 diabetes in mice. Abundant amounts of mast cells — the immune cells responsible for producing the symptoms of allergy and asthma — are found in the abdominal fat tissues of normal-weight humans and mice. bese and diabetic humans and mice have large amounts of immune cells called macrophages in their abdominal fat. “It’s possible that the inflammation caused by macrophages results in insulin resistance” said lead researcher Steven Shoelson adding that the condition could lead to type 2 diabetes. Zaditor and cromolyn treat allergy symptoms through stabilizing mast cells.
